2nd stop on our crawl around Canterbury. Only a few locals in as well as the friendly pub-cat. Apparently now owned by the same guys that run The Phoenix.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thwaites - Wainwright (please now use the Banks's entry) | 4.10 | | Not bad, a little dull and lifeless. I blame that on the brewer rather than the pub. |

| Adnams - Extra | 4.30 | | Not seen this beer for years so had to reacquaint myself with it. Pretty much as I remember with a sharpish fruity flavour and a malty finish. My score 15/20. |

I really like this pub these days. Great beer line up, friendly barman who almost insisted that I try the Old Peculier before buying my pint, pub cat, eclectic group of customers discussing photons and the like. Good stuff.

In Canters xmas shopping. Andrew posted that one of my favourites was on here, but alas the Old Peculier was all gone by the time we arrived. For info, it will be back on from Tuesday, said the friendly barman. Just a couple of other in on a Saturday lunch. Missed the Ian and Andrew pub crawl too!

Few people sat around the bar, other than that it was quiet. I liked the atmosphere though, it was a proper pub atmosphere. I'll definitely be returning.
